8. The Future is Bright

What's sad about this image is that I'm looking at it thinking, "that's actually a pretty good idea." That's totally wrong though. We're less connected to each other now than ever before. Sure, I can text my girlfriend all throughout the day using our smartphones, but I can't even tell you what color her eyes are. We're so deep in our phones I don't need to see her face. Sometimes the only physical time we get together is in front of the TV. At least with that we can be next to each other and stare at the same thing. This image strips away any sense of being together.

When I think about it though, this isn't that different from when I lived with my parents. I'd be in my room watching TV while my mom was in another room watching TV, and my dad was in another room watching TV. Sometimes we were even watching the same thing! What's our problem?
